When was the last time a UN sanction did anything? The UN has become nothing but an international debating society with strange ground rules - perhaps that is all it's ever been. How involved should anyone get into African affairs? I'm not sure it can be dealt with an a national basis - I think you'd end up having to deal with the entire continent - save a couple of exceptions. The results of European imperialism that failed and the nations they either abondoned or were kicked out of have, for the most part, never really functioned as governments above the tribal level in most instances. If the UN was capable of dealing with a problem of this extent then they are probably the ones that should deal with it - perhaps if even the African nations could agree to form some sort of international organization on their continent it might be helpful.
